Famous quotes containing the words clarence and/or young:

    Roll forth, my song, like the rushing river,
    That sweeps along to the mighty sea;
    —James Clarence Mangan (1803–1849)

    The world can doubtless never be well known by theory: practice is absolutely necessary; but surely it is of great use to a young man, before he sets out for that country, full of mazes, windings, and turnings, to have at least a general map of it, made by some experienced traveller.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
